A few years back I wanted to try it for a microservice but found it didn't integrate with our system because of missing features in the ZeroMQ libs of the time. So there are and were corners where things aren't fully fleshed out. I imagine you can find these odd corners in most ecosystems.

I've been happy with the libraries I've found and used in general. All the common web stuff seems to be there. ExAws solves most of the cloud integration I've dealt with. But I don't imagine I'd find a selection of high-level, highly ergonomic Google Sheets libraries the way you would in Python. Not yet.

I'd say its still early days but healthy for the job market. I've found freelance work with an Elixir shop recently which is fun. But it is nowhere near Python, JS and all. Still, plenty of people making a living as employees or long-term contractors doing it. And it seems to be growing at a steady rate. I'm hopeful.

Learned it out of interest. Tracked down my current client through the Elixir Slack actually.
